快速射电暴是由宇宙弦尖产生的吗?

Are fast radio bursts generated by cosmic string cusps?

Renato Costa, Jake E. B. Gordin, Amanda Weltman

摘要:

我们重新考虑宇宙弦可以源快速射电暴的想法,考虑到洛伦兹助推和一个较弱的假设粒子衰变的能量的标度律。我们表明,距离关系和时间尺度,对于一个特定的值的标度的能量,仍然是兼容的观测。然而,与数据相比,模型预测的事件发生率太高。我们还表明,一个更现实的字符串,具有有限的厚度,进一步化合物的问题,禁止尖点的形成,并指出如何超导wiggly字符串可以规避这个问题。

英文摘要:

We revisit the idea that cosmic strings could source fast radio bursts by taking into account Lorentz boosts and a weaker assumption about the scaling law for the energy of particle decay. We show that the distance relation and time scale, for a specific value of the scaling of energy, are still compatible with observations. However, the event rate predicted by the model is too high when compared to the data. We additionally show that a more realistic string, with a finite thickness, further compounds the problem by prohibiting cusp formation and point out how a superconducting wiggly string could circumvent this issue.
